POP! Goes the Matsujun (or Lessons Learned from a Japanese Idol)
Taking some time out of his busy schedule, Jun Matsumoto traveled all the way from Tokyo to promote his latest film, The Hidden Fortress: the Last Princess. APA gets a little glimpse into the world of one of Japans biggest pop stars.

Thank you for this! Very interesting read! You can tell how serious he is about his career ne.
